PUGNARE: Economic Success and Failure
The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see, said Sir Winston Churchill. This fabulous book looks back across two thousand years. We imagine the Roman Empire as being a world very distant from ours, so distant that we may think we have nothing to learn from them. That however would be a mistake, as Sir Winston Churchill knew. The causes of the triumphs and disasters of our time are much the same as those of the Roman Empire. The Romans were people just like us and the wisest of their great men and women were as wise as the best of ours. Unfortunately, the most foolish of theirs were just as foolish as the worst of ours. Pugnare is the first historical account of the Roman Empire written from a practical business perspective. It is also about people, because business is about people. We can learn a lot from their behaviour, from their successes and failures.

The Imperial Roman Economy
This book is the first coherent quantified assessment of the economy of the Roman Empire. George Maher argues inventively and rigorously for a much higher level of growth and prosperity than has hitherto been imagined, and also explains why, nonetheless, the Roman Empire did not achieve the transition which began in Georgian Britain. This book will have an enormous impact on Roman history and be required reading for all teachers and students in the field. It will also interest and provoke historians of the medieval and early modern periods into wondering why their economies failed to match the Roman level.

George Maher's Rockledge
George Washington Maher was a Prairie School architect whose work has often been relegated to the sidelines of Prairie School scholarship. Although his work deviated from that of many of the other architects of this period, his work is worthy of examination and reevaluation.
